News & Notes

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on Friday October 6, 2017 from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for navigable waters of the Wando River within a 500-yard radius of the SC-41 Bridge in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This safety zone will be in effect during demolition activities that include blasting of the old SC-41 swing bridge’s center pier.

Debris removal will commence shortly after the blast and is expected to take 5-7 days. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by Sector Charleston Captain of the Port, or a designated representative. Mariners are urged to plan transits accordingly to avoid unnecessary disruptions. For more details, please contact the project manager: Chris Sweetgall at: (813) 326-4428.
